§ 52.044 WHEN SERVICE CHARGES COMMENCE.
   (A)   Service charges (customer and usage) shall begin when the sewer connection is installed and the customer's service line is connected to the premises. Service charges will commence 90 days after the sewer connection is installed if the customer's service line to the premises has not been installed.
   (B)   In the event that a customer requests a new sewer connection installation, but continues to use an existing on-site septic system without connecting to the city system, the following shall apply:
      (1)   Customer charges shall commence after service request, payment of all applicable fees, and installation of new sewer connection.
      (2)   Usage charges shall commence upon connection to the city system. Customer, or customer's plumber, shall be required to obtain a permit from the City of Monroe prior to connection and prior to burying the new service connection so that the city may inspect the pipeline installation. Any plumber or person connecting to the city wastewater system without proper permit shall be subject to fines for unauthorized connection to a city utility system. Customer's connection to the city's wastewater system without proper authorization shall be subject to back charges and fees to the fullest extent of the law.
